Re: pic: Belt Drive Chassis Take 2

Reading this thread and a few other threads on the chain/belt compairison I see few spots where people talk of belts breaking, slipping or loss of the belts teeth/lugs. I don't understand. Maybe the small pitch belts from the Kit-of-parts would slip. Buy a better belt. Thinking of a car's timing belt or serpentine belt there is no way I would expect to see a failure in some belt like that on our robots.

I have also seen comments about robots pushing against each other and the chain one always wins over the belt. Saying the belt slipped. Here again if the correct belt is used and tensioned correctly etc I see no way that the contact patch between the wheels and carpeted floor could outlast a good belt.

I guess the real question is what type of belt is required for drive wheels?

Thanks--good luck to all in 2011
